Individuals and Families Pay Significantly Less for HSA-eligible Health Insurance Plans in 2005

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 10, 2006 - Individuals paid 17 percent less for HSAeligible
health insurance plans purchased through eHealthInsurance in 2005 than
consumers who bought similar plans in 2004. On average, individual consumers paid
$114 in 2005 versus $138 in 2004. This is significant when compared to the near doubledigit
increases in health insurance premiums reported by other organizations over the past
several years.1 This and other data on HSA adoption in 2005 was released today in a
semi-annual report by eHealthInsurance, the nation's leading online source of health
insurance for individuals, families and small businesses.

The improved affordability of HSA-eligible plans may be the key factor leading
uninsured Americans to HSAs. Forty-one percent of purchasers of HSA-eligible plans in
the study reported being previously uninsured. The age groups that had the highest
percentage of uninsured befo re purchasing an HSA-eligible plan are children and young
adults up to age 29.

"Since their introduction in 2004, HSAs have been one of the fastest growing products in
the consumer directed health care category, giving Americans more affordable health
insurance plans and greater control of their health care dollars," says Gary Lauer, CEO of
eHealthInsurance. "Our data verifies that HSAs are attractive to individuals and families
who did not previously have health insurance. It is our goal to continue to provide
transparency and choice in a highly complex environment so consumers can make the
best health insurance decision for themselves and their families."

Lower insurance premiums coupled with a tax-favored savings account allow consumers
to save money purchasing an HSA-eligible plan over a non-HSA-eligible plan. The
opportunity to save on both insurance as well as taxes has proven to be attractive to
moderate income Americans with 45 percent of HSA purchasers through
eHealthInsurance earning $50,000 or less annually.

As reported last June for the first half of 2005, HSA-eligible plans continue to include
comprehensive benefits such as prescription drug coverage, hospitalization and doctor
visits. The updated report released today includes information on the benefits offered in
plans purchased in 2005.
